[quote=Anonymous]But you didn’t is the answer I always give. Because it’s factual. Art from the renaissance to Impressionism is a completely different thing than a lot of art today because we are a different society. It’s fine to prefer the amazing physical talent of using your hands to create something realistic and lifelike or aesthetically beautiful with paint and brush or chisel and marble over conceptual work that primarily engages your mind. You value that skill over other things in art and there is nothing wrong with that. No art is truly universal. But some people derive a lot of pleasure and satisfaction from conceptual art or art that makes statements about past art or society or whatnot. I might not love some of contemporary art in terms of aesthetics. But I always find it interesting what it reflects about our society that artists are making what they do. To each their own. [/quote]
